(3/4 time) 
 
(Chorus) 
If (G)I was the man in the moon (G7) 
I'd (C) shine down my (D7) light for (G)you 
Each (C)silvery (D7)beam would (G)caress you in (Em)dreams 
Like my (A)two loving arms used to (D)do (D7) 
I'd (G)watch over you every night(G7) 
(C)Never too (D7)late or too (G)soon 
But (C)always on (D7)time 
My (G)love light would (Em)shine 
If (A)I was the (D7)man in the (G)moon 
D7 
 
(G)Some say it's better to love and then (G7) lose 
Than (C) never (D7)have loved at (G)all 
It's (D7)hard to return the (G)love that once (Em)burned 
To the (A)cold lonely world where (D)nobody (D7)calls 
(Repeat Chorus)2 bar break  
 
I'm only a phone call away from your voice 
But our lives have grown so far apart 
I'd have less resistance way up in the distance 
Sending my love light straight into your heart 
 
(Repeat Chorus)(end with) 
But always on time 
My lovelight would shine 
If I was the man in the moon
